‘Ellen’s Greatest Night Of Giveaways’ Episode 1 makes fans emotional as Michelle Obama helps out a school
The first day of ‘Ellen’s Greatest Night of Giveaways’ opened with a giveaway, from none other than Michelle Obama. The political and social icon is one of America’s all-time sweethearts and her deeply impactful gesture brought tears to all the fans, who took to Twitter and shared their reactions to what they thought is the best night on Ellen’s show so far.
As @cindur1 comments, “OMG, the show has just started and I'm already tearing up....#EllensGreatestNight @TheEllenShow.”
Obama and Ellen together donated iPads for every student in the school, helped them open a basketball court, and arranged for an educational program in association with Apple Inc. The team was assisted by Green Dot bank to raise $100k for the Obama Foundation that would help the children and their teachers boost their school’s programs and cover the costs that have been stopping the administration from bringing the latest facilities to the kids.
Many saw this as the greatest gift that children could have this holiday season. @wtfjagTweets, “Awww, we starting off with our awesome #FirstLady #MichelleObama ❤💕❤. Well, let's go #EllensGreatestNight. That kid yelled Obama on 1st seeing @MichelleObama and that was the greatest thing ever!!!”
